A light rain fell in the sky, and the green trees were moistened with fresh rain on the street. The rain made the hot summer a lot cooler.

At the entrance of the prison of the Criminal Department, raindrops fell, falling on the armor of the guards on both sides of the corridor, making a crisp sound.

Officials from the Ministry of Punishment brought Ning Xiaochuan to the gate and stayed in the jail for three days. During these three days, Ning Xiaochuan looked very haggard.

"Master Ning, I sent you here. You have been offended a lot these days." The official from the Ministry of Punishment said to Ning Xiaochuan with his hands raised.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded slightly, walked out, and stood at the exit of the corridor. He looked back at the Penal Department Prison, and remembered what the old man said to him yesterday.

It's such a pity that I still don't know who that old man is or what he committed, yet he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment for three years. Alas, he didn't want to say anything, so he couldn't do anything about it.

"Xiaochuanzi..." Guan Yun'er's voice rang out from the door of the prison of the Criminal Department. Ning Xiaochuan turned around and saw brothers Ning Feng and Ning Song at a glance, as well as the second sister who loved him the most.

"Second sister?" Ning Xiaochuan was surprised and happy, and ran out directly. Guan Yun'er quickly took an umbrella to protect him from the rain.

"Second sister, when did you and second brother come back?" Ning Xiaochuan said in surprise.

Guan Yun'er slapped Ning Xiaochuan angrily, pouted and said, "You brat, you came back the day of the accident. Really, I heard the news that you were taken away by the Ministry of Punishment as soon as you came back. I was scared to death.

"

"I'm sorry, second sister, I didn't know you were coming back that day..." Ning Xiaochuan said awkwardly, rubbing his head.

While they were talking, Ning Feng and Ning Song also walked over. Ning Xiaochuan quickly saluted. With Ning Song here, he still had to behave, "Second brother, third brother, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Ning Song helped Ning Xiaochuan up and said apologetically: "It's my fault too. If I had stopped you at that time or told you the news about the second brother's return earlier, you might not have suffered this."

"It's okay, Third Brother, even if you tell me, you probably won't be able to stop me." Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile.

"How long has it been and you are still smiling? Go back quickly, my parents are worried." Ning Feng said helplessly next to him.

"Yes, second brother."

…

News of Ning Xiaochuan's release from prison spread to the palace.

Gao Yuan was reading a book when the Imperial Master sent someone to deliver the news. Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "I understand. If there's nothing else, just go down first."

The eunuch who sent the message nodded respectfully, then raised his hand and said, "The Imperial Master has said that you must recruit Ning Xiaochuan under your command during this period. Now is the best time."

Gao Yuan put down the scripture, looked at the little eunuch, suppressed his impatience and said: "I know, you can go down."

"Then my subordinate resigns..."

After the young eunuch left, Gao Yuan threw the scripture out angrily, frightening the palace maid next to him to kneel down and not dare to speak.

"I have to have a hand in everything I do. Do you really think that I can't survive without you?" Gao Yuan looked angry. After venting his anger, he took a deep breath, covered his chest and said, "Go and pick up the book."

The palace maid next to her put the scriptures on the desk in a nonchalant manner. Gao Yuan sighed and said, "Get ready, the prince is leaving the palace."

In the queen's bedroom, the second prince hurriedly rushed in with a very anxious look on his face.

"Mother, Ning Xiaochuan has been released from the Criminal Department. This is great, why should he be released?" The second prince shouted as soon as he came in.

After hearing this, the queen waved her hand gently and said, "Put the soup on the table. You can go down first."

"Yes." The palace maid behind her placed a bowl of snow lotus and chicken claw soup on the table, bowed and stepped back.

When there was no one in the dormitory, the queen said: "What? If you don't release him, why don't you let the Ministry of Justice continue to investigate? Don't you know what the consequences will be if you continue to investigate? Xue Xun was promoted by your father. If it weren't for your father,

According to the emperor's instructions, can he let Ning Xiaochuan out?"

"My father wants to let Ning Xiaochuan out, does he know that it was us who did it?" Gao Ling said with a frown.

"Nothing in Yindu can escape your father's eyes, so let's end it here." Gongsun Changping looked at himself in the mirror and said slowly.

Gao Ling looked at Gongsun Changping with some reluctance, "Queen Mother, just letting Ning Xiaochuan go is too easy for him."

Gongsun Changping smiled, looked at his silly son and said helplessly: "Of course not, but we can't do it in Yindu. This Ning Xiaochuan is not easy. We have to discuss it in the long term."

"Yesterday morning, my father called the prince to the Zhengde Hall and released Hu Tongxun." Gao Ling sat on the table next to him. "Mother, my father has already started to pave the way for the prince. We must hurry up."

"Isn't he just Hu Tongxun? What's so scary about a small farmer? You have to hold on tight now and don't get into trouble. Your mother and your uncle will help you."

Gongsun Changping said calmly and stood up slowly, "Don't forget, apart from the prime minister, the people who really have the right to speak in the court are the five houses and six ministries. After taking these, are you afraid that the throne will not come to you?"

After hearing this, Gao Ling suddenly realized, "Yes, Queen Mother, how could I have forgotten all this?"

"You, you are still not calm enough. Well, go back first. Your mother and your uncle will help you handle these matters. Just do what you should do. Don't let Gao Yuan compare you to your father.

You are disappointed." Gongsun Changping looked at Gao Ling and said helplessly.

Gao Ling smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to my mother. I'll take my leave."

Gongsun Changping sat down at the table, took a sip of soup, smacked his mouth, "Not bad."

…

Ning Mansion.

Ningzhi study.

Ning Xiaochuan lowered his head and walked in, "Dad, I'm back."

"Have you met your mother?" Ning Zhi stood up and said helplessly.

"See you."

"It's good to be back, go and have a good rest." Ning Zhi nodded and said.

Ning Xiaochuan looked up at Ning Zhi, mustered up his courage and said, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

"Dad knows, your second brother has already told dad that you have to leave Yindu." Ning Zhi put down the brush in his hand and let out a long sigh.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded unexpectedly, but when he thought it was Ning Feng, he no longer felt strange. He couldn't hide this trick from his second brother.

"Second...Second brother has told you, so what do you mean..." Ning Xiaochuan asked carefully.

"Why did you leave Yindu?"

Ning Zhi turned to look at Ning Xiaochuan, looking at Ning Zhi's eyes. For the first time, Ning Xiaochuan felt that his father's eyes were so intimidating. "It is too dangerous to avoid assassination in Yindu. I want to go out to avoid it."

"Is it that simple?" Ning Zhi frowned and stared at him, "Is there no other reason?"

"No." Of course Ning Xiaochuan couldn't tell Ning Zhi that he left Yin City to avoid being recruited by the royal family, so he could only say this.

Of course, this is a good excuse for Ning Zhi and the royal family, otherwise he would not have planned all this.

"Where will you go after leaving Yindu? Xiangzhou?" Ning Zhi did not continue to ask.

"Travel around the world and increase your knowledge. Like my second brother, I traveled all over the Dafeng River and Mountains." Ning Xiaochuan said without thinking.

Ning Zhi was a little surprised by Ning Xiaochuan's words, "You were afraid of assassination in Yin, but if you go outside, you won't be afraid of assassination anymore?"

"I..." Ning Xiaochuan didn't know how to explain.

Ning Zhi shook his head helplessly, "It's okay to go out. Whenever you plan to leave, your mother and I will prepare it for you."

"No need to prepare anything, Dad, I will leave in three days."

"So anxious?" Ning Zhi said unexpectedly, "Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

"No, the longer I stay, the harder it will be to leave after seeing you and my mother." Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said.

He had to leave early. If he left this time, Mrs. Ning would definitely be reluctant to leave, and the royal family would not give him any extra time. After thinking about it, it was better to leave as early as possible.

"Since you are leaving, dad will tell you something. I hope you will stick to your idea after listening to it." Ning Zhi sighed.

When Ning Xiaochuan heard this, he looked at Ning Zhi doubtfully, "Dad, what do you want to say, my child is listening."

"Dad, I know that for so many years, you brothers have always been worried about the Shuozhou assassination, especially you.

Dad also knows that you brothers have always had objections to Dad's refusal to investigate. In fact, you don't know that Dad cares far more than you do. He has also investigated a lot secretly and has some clues..." Ning Zhi said slowly.

Ning Xiaochuan's heart moved, "What did you say, Dad, did you find out who did it?"

"It is an organization called Zhongfu. This organization is marked by three flowing clouds. Their whereabouts are strange and erratic. It is not easy to investigate them." Ning Zhi looked at Ning Xiaochuan and frowned, "Besides, they are very

It may be related to the royal family."

"The royal family... is His Majesty's attack on the Ning family?" Ning Xiaochuan clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped up on his arms. Now he began to understand why Ning Zhi didn't let him investigate in the first place. The more he investigated, the more terrifying and terrifying he became.

The final result is even more unacceptable.

"Not necessarily, there is no evidence, just speculation."

Ning Zhi looked at Ning Xiaochuan and continued to say slowly, "Father is telling you this not because he wants to keep you, nor because he wants you to take revenge and get to the bottom of it, but because he wants you to leave Yindu without any worries.

At the same time, I also want to let you know that the outside world is extremely dangerous. Without dad and your brothers by your side, you must protect yourself and be careful when encountering trouble."

"I understand, Dad, do all my brothers know about the affairs of the Zhongfu?" Ning Xiaochuan said with his head lowered.

"Only your second brother knows, and this is what your second brother told dad." Ning Zhi said slowly, walked to Ning Xiaochuan, and patted his arm, "I'll tell you this, in three days, I can leave Yindu with peace of mind.

Don’t miss home anymore.”

"father……"

"The journey away from home this time is extremely dangerous. It is up to you to resolve your brothers' matters. But remember, if you encounter danger outside, no matter where you are, as long as you call daddy, daddy will come.

"

"No matter who it is, dad will not allow him to hurt you. Although Yindu is big, when the time comes, he can't trap dad!"

Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were red. Looking at this father who often apologized to others in low voices for his own sake, he felt sad and uncomfortable. "Dad, don't worry, the child will definitely come back."

Ning Zhi also had red eyes and gently rubbed Ning Xiaochuan's head, "Good boy, when you grow up, go ahead and do what you should do."

"Yes, dad..."

He had no choice but to leave Beijing this time. To protect his family's safety and the reputation of the Ning family, Ning Xiaochuan had no choice but to leave Beijing.

I don’t know what year or month this departure is. Ning Xiaochuan only hopes that his two elders will take good care of their health and not worry about him. Even if he goes through millions of risks, he will never say anything and does not want others to do anything. He only hopes that his family will be safe, happy and peaceful...

The wind howls in the long forest, the horse rides out of the Yin capital, the moonlight shines on the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the song of a young man planting trees in thousands of families...
